Still can’t decide what to ask Santa for this Christmas? How about a gold HTC One? The new handset has today gone on sale in the U.K. through retailers Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U, and it’s available for free on two-year contracts from £29 per month — with next-day delivery.

HTC announced its flagship smartphone of 2013, the HTC One, back in February, and a month later the handset was available to purchase in the U.K. from several independent retailers with a fairly hefty price tag of £599. However, if you didn’t pick one up at the time, it may be of interest for you to know that the online retailer Isme is currently selling the device for £549 — that’s £50 off the usual retail price.

Fashionably late as usual, Verizon has at last posted the official update documents for a much-anticipated upcoming upgrade for HTC’s flagship smartphone of 2013, the One. This announcement comes two months after all the other major carriers in the United States started rolling out Android 4.3 for the handset and reveals that Big Red is now preparing to do the same.

HTC is today pushing out a rather large unexpected over-the-air update to all its unlocked One Mini handsets currently located in Hungary. According to the changelog, the upgrade brings Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and the latest version of Sense 5.5 to the device, together with a multitude of additional bug fixes, speed optimizations and stability improvements, as well as a bunch of new soundtracks for the built-in Video Highlights feature.

HTC has announced a new black HTC One max that makes its debut in Hong Kong today. As you might have guessed, it looks identical to the black HTC One, save for its rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and significantly larger display, and it carries the same specifications as the original One max.
